The following note is taken from an article on Broads sailing (1894) by G C Davies:

‘These rivers are a capital place for the man fond of single-handed sailing. One well known and elderly amateur sails a lugsail boat alone, but at a proper distance behind comes his man in another single-handed boat. The latter pitches his master’s tent and relieves him of his household troubles, and retires to his own boat tent when not wanted. This really is a capital arrangement.’
